For the sweet filling I use grated pumpkin and added sugar to taste. If desired, you can also add cinnamon and vanilla sugar. For the usual filling we will need stewed cabbage with mushrooms. The cabbage should be salted and pepper to taste. Fry it in a frying pan and add champignon mushrooms while frying.
